If I didn’t know any better, I’d read this quote from You Say Party! We
Say Die! siren Becky Ninkovic and assume she’s candyflipping her face
off as her band speeds across the Pacific Northwest to their next tour
stop.

“We
knew there was this energy of love kind of taking over everything,
coming out of a hard time of too much touring and just being really
worn down,” Ninkovic says regarding the conception of the band’s
junior-year effort, XXXX (Paper Bag Records, 2009).
